Abstract: The present invention provides methods of inhibiting JAK involving the use of a group of compounds based either upon a 2-amino-6-carba-disubstituted pyrazine scaffold or a 2-amino-6-carba-disubstituted pyridine scaffold. The invention also provides methods of treating JAK-associated disease states.

Abstract: A linker lipid for use in attaching a membrane including a plurality of ionophores to an electrode and providing a space between the membrane and the electrode in which the membrane is either in part or totally made up of the linker lipid. The linker lipid has within the same molecule a hydrophobic region capable of spanning the membrane, an attachment group used to attach the molecule to an electrode surface, a hydrophilic region intermediate the hydrophobic region and the attachment group, and a polar head group region attached to the hydrophobic region at a site remote from the hydrophilic region. The attachment group has a cross sectional area greater than the cross sectional area of the hydrophilic region, and has the structure recited in the specification.

Abstract: The present invention provides intermediates for the preparation of compounds of the formula wherein R, R1, W, X, Y, Ar and ZA are defined herein.

Abstract: The present invention provides a compound of formula (I) wherein R is phenyl, C3-C7 cycloalkyl or heteroaryl, each of which being optionally benzo- or C3-C7 cycloalkyl-fused and optionally substituted, including in the benzo- or C3-C7 cycloalkyl-fused portion, by from 1 to 3 substituents each independently selected from C1-C4 alkyl, fluoro(C1-C4)alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, fluoro(C1-C4)alkoxy, phenoxy, C2-C4 alkanoyl, halo, C1-C4 alkoxycarbonyl, C3-C7 cycloalkyl, —S(O)m(C1-C4 alkyl), cyano, —NR2R3, —S(O)mNR2R3, —NR4(C1-C4 alkanoyl) and —CONR2R3, or R is 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furanyl or chromanyl; R1 is H or C1-C6 alkyl; W is a direct link, methylene or ethylene; X is unbranched C2-C4 alkylene; Y is phenyl, naphthyl, benzyl, pyridyl, thienyl or C3-C7 cycloalkyl, each of which being optionally substituted by from 1 to 3 substituents each independently selected from C1-C4 alkyl, fluoro(C1-C4)alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, fluoro(C1-C4)alkoxy, halo and cyano; Ar is phenyl, naphthyl, benzyl, th
